Control and verification of radiation levels in controlled and supervised areas in Goyeneche hospital

The objective of the work is to verify and determine that the level of radiation in the controlled, supervised areas, areas of the general public are within the levels established by the regulatory body, this work presents measures carried out in the perimeter of the Cobalto therapy Area of the Service of Radiotherapy of the III-1Goyeneche Hospital, using an area radiation monitor and compared with Monte Carlo simulation results. The results obtained show a relative difference of less than 5% between the experimental data and the simulation. This determines that the bunker's shielding is optimal and the radiation levels established by the regulatory body for these areas are met, guaranteeing radiological protection to occupationally exposed personnel and the general public.
